European defencetech investment hit a record $7.4B in 2026. European tech funding is shifting toward defence, with investment nearly tripling this year and defencetech now making up 11.1% of VC funding. The surge is being driven by mega-rounds, specialist funds and demand for autonomous systems. The trend signals a broader reallocation of capital toward dual-use and security-focused startups across Europe. 🔗 https://summit.sifted.eu/2026-agenda #ClimeTech #Funding #SaaS
